'''Alpacas''' are domestic animals that can be both {{L|shearer|sheared}} and {{L|milk|milked}}. Alpacas eat far less grass than cattle, and make an excellent base animal for a cheese and cloth industry.

'''Llamas''' are much like {{L|alpaca}}s in that they can be both {{L|shearer|sheared}} and {{L|milk}}ed, but llamas are larger and produce more meat when butchered. Llamas also require more grass than alpacas but less than cattle, making them an excellent compromise animal if you wish to get {{L|yarn|wool}}, meat, and {{L|cheese}} from only one kind of animal.

Sheep can be {{L|shearer|sheared}} (or butchered) to yield {{L|yarn|wool}}.
When butchered a Ram (male sheep) will give more bones than an Ewe, 10 instead of 8, and will also give 2 horns.

v0.31:Mining

Maseck: explained how to make old channels

{{AV}}
'''Mining''' is an essential part of building a fort in Dwarf Fortress. There are several reasons you might want to mine, such as [[exploratory mining|searching]] for various [[stone types]], or simply to create the basic tunnels and [[rooms]] in your fort.

There are two types of jobs associated with this skill: mining and channeling. Mining removes a section of wall while preserving both the ceiling and the floor. Channeling, however, removes the floor, replacing it with a downwards ramp.

To create a channel with no downward ramp, mine out the area underneath the channel first and then channel. If you wish for these channels to be completely inaccessible from the outside, channel out the access-point (downward staircase).

Since the skill of mining also is used in combat, a dwarf with mining enabled that is carrying a pick will increase their mining skill through combat drills.
